February Issue Outtakes: Puerto Rico

Some of the best conditions you'll ever see at this spot. Perfect size, swell direction, and light winds. Josie Graves does not miss one of these days.

Dane Gudauskas came down and stayed at the Graves' house to shoot a section for Gettin' Classic Volume 2.

Beware of parking your mini-van rental in PR. At many spots, you can expect one of the windows to be bashed and your stuff stolen, when you come in from the session.

Brian Toth pulling back on a wave is not a common sight. This time probably a good idea though.

Mike Gleason beating down a slopey Rincon wall.

Nathan and Ivan Florence came down for their first time and we're pretty impressed with the slab. Reminiscent of some waves at home. As far as the paddle out spot, that's a little different. Urchin city.

Blake Jones at the Pool Bar in Rincon. White boy can jump.

Dylan Graves on a maxed out wave at the slab.

Ricky "Slims" Delgado boosting on an end section in Rincon.

This is why the whole east coast visits PR during the winter. Super fun, ripple waves in warm water. Cory Lopez.

Puerto Rican legend, Otto Flores.

Darren Muschett has been dodging urchins his whole life. It's not as easy as it looks

Wesley Toth setting it up in front of Vans photog, Daniel Russo.

There's left ramps all over the place. Unfortunately most you have to land on shallow reef. Blake Jones throws it up anyway.

Ale Moreda feeling at home.

They call Brian Toth "gorilla bull shark" because he does shit like this.

The reef blows Tothy a kiss.

Early morning on the north coast. Dylan Graves.

Break time.

Dane Gudauskas, under the lip takeoff.

Wesley Toth. Caribbean blues.

Hector Santamaria, mute grab. He's the next kid to step up after the Graves/Toth/Moreda generation. Has been landing some crazy airs and might surprise people when the Rip Curl 4 star WQS comes to Jobos in February.

New Jersey's Mike Gleason enjoying a roughly 40 degree difference in water temperature from his home break.
